NEW YORK TIMES BESTSSELLER • Putting an uplifting spin on a classic poem, this charmingly illustrated and lyrical picture book about starting kindergarten will help kids—and their parents!—prepare for the big day.

“T’was the night before kindergarten,
And as they prepared,
Kids were excited,
And a little bit scared.”

Tomorrow is the first day of kindergarten! But what can the kids expect when they first arrive? Join the children as they prepare for school, packing supplies, posing for pictures, and—the hardest part of all—saying goodbye to Mom and Dad. But maybe it won’t be so hard once they discover just how much fun kindergarten really is! Colorful illustrations illuminate this encouraging story, perfect for introducing little ones to a big milestone.
Natasha Wing was born in Milford, Connecticut, in 1960. At the age of 20 she moved to Arizona where she finished college at Arizona State University in 1982 with a BS in advertising. In 1991 she decided to write children’s books. She sold her first book, Hippity Hop, Frog on Top, within six months and has been writing children’s books and articles ever since. The Night Before series began with The Night Before Easter and has grown into a best-selling series of more than 25 titles. She lives in Fort Collins, Colorado. View titles by Natasha Wing
